Digging for gold

June ‘08’
Shanghai, China.

An elderly Chinese women searches for disgarded plastic bottles which she exchanges for money. [10 bottles = 1 Yuan – 1 Yuan = 0.1633 Aus Dollars or 0.0988 US Dollars]. For the hour that I sat on the Shanghai curbside, a further 28 people searched the same public bin in search for “one man’s trash, another man’s treasure”.

Available for sale as
